Alabama registered agent: rules, prices, and graded services

Alabama’s street cannot be solely a mailbox service or a telephone answering service, and the privilege-tax paper is not that job

A registered agent is the person or company who can be handed a lawsuit for the business. It is not a mailbox. A registered agent is also called a statutory agent, or an agent for service of process. Handing over those court papers is called service of process. Alabama’s statute uses the words registered agent and registered office. The live Secretary of State pages use those same words. They do not say resident agent. A filing company must keep both in this state. The office must be a street where process may be personally served. It may not be solely a mailbox service. It may not be solely a telephone answering service. The change form adds a third line: no P.O. Box on that street. The agent’s business office must be the same street. The filing office for an Alabama limited liability company is the Secretary of State. You reserve the name first. Then you file the certificate of formation. Every year many companies also send a Business Privilege Tax return to the Department of Revenue. That return’s title also says annual report. It is a tax paper. It is not a Secretary of State annual report. It cannot change the agent. Changing the agent is a $100 Secretary of State filing. The job is taking court papers at the Alabama street and forwarding them. This page is the Alabama rule and the dated prices. It does not reprint vendor cards from another state.

A registered agent is not a virtual mailbox. We do not score mailbox suites, virtual offices, or Google Business Profile eligibility here. Alabama’s statute says a mailbox service or a telephone answering service is not the registered office if that is all the street is. If you need scans of catalogs, that is a different product on a different site.

What Alabama actually requires

A registered agent is the person or company who can be handed a lawsuit. Service of process means handing over those papers. The Secretary of State keeps the list. Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.31 says each filing entity keeps a registered agent and a registered office in this state. The agent may be an individual who lives here, or a domestic entity, or a foreign entity registered to transact business here. The agent’s business office is the same street as the registered office. When the agent changes, the statement includes the new agent’s written consent, and the new agent signs before filing.

A street is a place a person can walk up to. A P.O. Box is a mailbox at the post office. The office must be a street where process may be personally served. It may not be solely a mailbox service or a telephone answering service. The change form says no P.O. Box. The change fee is $100. Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.32 says acceptance of that statement changes a domestic filing company without amending the certificate of formation.

An Alabama limited liability company does not file an annual report with the Secretary of State. The yearly paper is a Business Privilege Tax return to the Department of Revenue. Its title also says annual report. It cannot change the agent. Filing it is not the job of taking the lawsuit. The Department ties the due date to the federal return. Another source names April 15. The sources disagree. This page does not pick one. If the agent is missing, or cannot with reasonable diligence be served, Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.35 says service follows the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure. Ala. Code § 10A-5A-7.01 does not name a missing agent as a dissolution.

The statute does not print a clock. Any Montgomery hours are the Secretary of State’s hours, not a registered-office clock. Someone has to be at an Alabama street to accept hand-delivered papers. A software login is not that street.

Full requirement and citations

In plain language. Alabama wants a street where court papers can be handed over, and a person or company who takes them. That street is the registered office. That person or company is the registered agent. A P.O. Box is not the office. A mailbox shop is not the office if that is all it is. A phone-answering line is not the office if that is all it is. The filing office is the Secretary of State. You reserve the name first. An LLC does not file an annual report with that office. The yearly paper many people mean is a Business Privilege Tax return. That paper goes to the Department of Revenue. It cannot change the agent. Check the live name on the Business Entity Search before you file.

Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.31 is the Alabama office-and-agent statute. Each filing entity, and each foreign filing entity registered here, shall designate and continuously maintain in this state a registered agent and a registered office. A general partnership that has put a partnership statement on file with the Secretary of State must do the same. The registered agent is the person on whom process, notice, or demand may be served. The agent may be an individual who lives in this state, or a domestic entity or a foreign entity that is registered to transact business in this state. The agent must keep a business office at the same street as the registered office. The registered office must be a street in this state where process may be personally served on that agent. It need not be a place of business of the company. It may not be solely a mailbox service or a telephone answering service. That is the street rule. We print it. This page keeps the full wording.

Ala. Code § 10A-5A-2.01 is what the certificate of formation must say. One or more organizers execute that certificate and deliver it for filing. The certificate must set forth the name of the registered agent at the registered office required by Article 5 of Chapter 1. Leaving the agent off is a defect. The same section says a certificate of formation shall be delivered for filing to the Secretary of State. We print that LLC sentence. The live Secretary of State LLC page says the same path: file the original and one copy of the Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State. It prices that domestic filing at $200.00. A foreign company’s registration is $150.00. You must obtain a Certificate of Name Reservation under Ala. Code § 10A-1-4.02(f) before you file those formation papers. That name reservation is a first paper. It is not the registered-agent job. The same office page tells you to mail a foreign filing to P.O. Box 5616, Montgomery, Alabama 36103, or to 770 Washington Ave., Suite 580, Montgomery, AL 36104. Those contacts are the Secretary of State. They are not a vendor suite.

The Change of Registered Agent or Registered Office by Entity form is the live change paper. Its purpose line cites Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.32. Mail two copies and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The processing fee on the face is $100.00. The street line says No PO Boxes. The new agent must sign the consent box before filing. The company certifies that the street of the registered office and the street of the registered agent’s business are the same and located in Alabama. The agent must be located in Alabama. Information must be typed or the filing is returned. The Business Downloads page files that same form under Registered Agent and/or Registered Office Changes. We print the statute, the form, and the downloads list. The sources do not agree. This page does not add a fourth number.

Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.32 is how the company changes the line. The company delivers a statement of the change to the Secretary of State. If the change is the agent, the statement names the new agent and includes that new agent’s written consent, either on the statement or attached to it. When the Secretary of State accepts the statement, the change is effective for a domestic filing company without amending the certificate of formation. Listing a new name on a later tax paper does not do that job. LegalZoom’s Alabama annual-report article says businesses used to be able to update the agent on an annual report, and that that path is gone. The live change is this $100 statement. We print those sentences. The page does not publish a yearly Secretary of State paper that can carry the new line.

Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.33 is how the current agent moves. The agent may file a statement that changes the agent’s name, or the street of the registered office, or both. The agent must have given the company written notice of that change at least 10 days before the statement is delivered to the Secretary of State. One statement may cover more than one company if it lists each company’s unique identifying number. That 10-day notice is an agent-move clock. It is not the resignation clock.

Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.34 is how an agent steps down. The agent gives notice to the company at the address the agent most recently knew, and gives notice to the Secretary of State. Notice to the Secretary of State must be given before the 11th day after the date the notice to the company is mailed or delivered. That notice must include the company’s last known address, a statement that written notice of the resignation was given, and the date that notice was given. The appointment ends on the 31st day after the Secretary of State receives the notice. If the notice conforms, the Secretary of State notifies the company and files the resignation. A fee is not required to file that resignation. The live Registered Agent Resignation Notice repeats the office line: must be received within 11 days of notice to the entity. That is an 11-day filing clock and a 31st-day end. It is not Oregon’s 31st-day-only sentence. It is not Wisconsin’s 60-day clock. It is not Missouri’s 30-day clock. ZenBusiness’s Alabama page, last updated March 26, 2026, prints the same 11-day window and the same 31st-day end, and says there is no filing fee. Those three vendor sentences match the statute we retrieved.

Ala. Code § 10A-5A-7.01 is the LLC dissolution list this page will not confuse with a missing agent. A limited liability company is dissolved when the company agreement says so, when all members consent, when there is no remaining member and the statute’s continuation path is not used, or when a court orders a dissolution because it is not reasonably practicable to carry on. That list does not name a missing registered agent. Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.35 is what the office-and-agent chapter does say if the agent is missing. If the company fails to designate and maintain a registered agent, or the agent cannot with reasonable diligence be served, the company may be served as the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure provide. That is a service path. It is not an automatic LLC dissolution. ZenBusiness’s Alabama page says a company that goes without an agent for 60 or more days, or does not notify the state of a resignation within 60 days, can be administratively dissolved. That is ZenBusiness copy. We print the LLC dissolution list we opened. The list did not print a 60-day LLC clock.

The yearly paper many vendor pages still call an annual report is a tax filing. The Alabama Department of Revenue Business Privilege Tax page says every corporation, limited liability entity, and disregarded entity doing business here, or organized, qualified, or registered here, is required to file an Alabama Business Privilege Tax Return. Limited liability entities and disregarded entities file Form PPT, Alabama Business Privilege Tax Return and Annual Report for Pass-Through Entities. C-corporations and other listed entities file Form CPT. The privilege tax remains due every registered year until the company is legally dissolved or withdrawn through the Secretary of State. Form PPT and Form CPT are due on the same date as the matching federal income return. Form BPT-IN, the initial return, must be filed within two and one-half months after the company incorporates, organizes, qualifies, or starts doing business here if the tax calculates to more than one hundred dollars. For taxable year 2026, the Department’s instruction booklet says taxpayers who would be subject to the minimum tax of one hundred dollars do not have a filing requirement. Bizee’s Alabama page, retrieved the same day, says an annual report is not required for Alabama LLCs, and that the Business Privilege Tax return is due by April 15 each year. April 15 is Bizee copy for a calendar-year federal due date. We print the Department page, the instruction booklet, and the vendor sentence. The sources do not agree. This page does not add a fourth due date. That tax paper lists numbers for the Department of Revenue. It is not a Secretary of State annual report. It cannot change the registered agent.

The Business Entity Search sits at arc-sos.state.al.us. The Business Entity Records page is the office door for that lookup. You can search by entity name, entity number, officer, agent, or incorporator, or by reservation or registration ID. On retrieval, the name-search form said filings completed through September 2, 2026. The same page says the office has switched from a six-digit to a nine-digit Entity ID. You may see three leading zeros added to an older number. ZenBusiness’s Alabama page still tells you to look for a six-digit number to the left of the name. That sentence is on the company's page. We print the live office sentence. The Business Downloads page also publishes a List of Registered Agents. The office says that listing is provided in response to a frequently asked question, and that the Office of the Alabama Secretary of State does not endorse or recommend those registered agents. That list is not an endorsement. It is not a Nevada-style ten-company commercial-agent register. A commercial registered agent here is just a person or company whose Alabama office matches the registered office and that consented to serve.

Paper filings go to the Business Entities Division, P.O. Box 5616, Montgomery, AL 36103-5616, or to 770 Washington Ave., Suite 580, Montgomery, AL 36104. The main office phone is 334-242-7200. The fax is 334-242-4993. ZenBusiness’s Alabama page prints telephone 919-814-5400. That is not the Alabama number on the live Secretary of State pages. We print the vendor line. We do not treat it as Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.31. Those Montgomery hours, if any, are the Secretary of State’s hours. They are not a registered-office clock. Alabama does not post Florida-style 10–noon / 2–4 windows. We do not treat a company 9-to-5 line as the statute.

Confirm the live agent and street on the Alabama Business Entity Search before you treat a marketing city as current. Headquarters is not the registered office. The Secretary of State’s Montgomery contacts are not a vendor suite. That search lists the registered agent and the registered office of record.

A change of registered agent or office is a separate Secretary of State filing. An LLC cannot put the new line on a Secretary of State annual report, because an LLC files no such report with that office. The Business Privilege Tax return is a Department of Revenue paper. It is not that change. We cite Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.32, the $100 live form, and the downloads list.

Who publishes an Alabama street

A city is not a registered office. We print only the streets the companies publish for registered-agent use. The pages we read do not publish the rest. Confirm the live name and street on the Alabama Business Entity Search before you file. Headquarters is not the registered office. The Secretary of State’s Montgomery contacts are not vendor suites.

If you are your own registered agent, the street on the public record is often your home. If you hire a commercial registered agent, the agent line is that organization’s name. Northwest names Dothan on the product page and Dothan, AL 36 Shelby County on the office list, and no street on either. LegalZoom names Huntsville and no street. Bizee publishes no Alabama street. ZenBusiness publishes the Secretary of State’s Montgomery P.O. Box and a telephone number that is not the live Alabama office line. We label every published city vendor-claimed. Use the Business Entity Search.

In-state office, the mailbox-service ban, and the privilege-tax paper

Alabama wants a registered office that is a street in this state where process may be personally served. The agent’s business office and that registered office must be the same street. The office may not be solely a mailbox service or a telephone answering service. The change form will not take a P.O. Box as that street. Change the agent on the Change of Registered Agent or Registered Office by Entity form. The live form prints $100.00. A new agent must consent in writing. Resignation is filed before the 11th day after notice to the company and ends on the 31st day after the Secretary of State receives it. There is no resignation fee. An LLC files no annual report with the Secretary of State. The Business Privilege Tax return is a Department of Revenue paper. That paper’s title also says annual report. It cannot change the agent. Stay without an agent and Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.35 sends service down the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure. Ala. Code § 10A-5A-7.01 does not name that gap as an LLC dissolution event. Alabama does not post a Florida-style 10–noon / 2–4 clock, and it does not run a Nevada-style ten-company commercial-agent register. Northwest claims Dothan, and the office list adds 36 Shelby County. LegalZoom names Huntsville. ZenBusiness publishes P.O. Box 5616, the Secretary of State. Bizee names no Alabama street. Process Score has not been to those offices. We do not treat a company 9-to-5 line as Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.31.

Home-address privacy

A commercial registered agent is how most Alabama owners keep a home off the agent line. The Secretary of State still publishes whatever other addresses you put on a formation filing. Privacy of the agent line is not privacy of every field. An Alabama LLC must name an agent. It cannot leave that line blank. Confirm the live line on the Business Entity Search.
